Marsala Wine Biscotti

These are yummy, the biscotti has a sweet, slightly nutty flavor of marsala wine, which is an ideal dessert wine. Great with a cup of coffee or a glass of your favorite wine. Try these biscotti as a great summertime companion to a plate of fresh fruit. The recipe come from one of my favorite cookie cookbooks.

Steps

In a small bowl , soak currants in the marsala wine for 1 to 2 hours.
Drain currants and set aside soaking liquid.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
With an electric mixer , cream the butter and sugar.
Add eggs and 3 tablespoons of reserved marsala wine , mix until well blended.
On low speed , gradually add flour , baking powder , and salt.
Stir in currants.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.
This will be a soft dough.
Divide dough into 3 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a loaf about 12 inches long.
Place on parchment-lined cookie sheets , spacing about 3 inches apart.
Using a pastry brush , brush the tops with marsala wine and sprinkle with sugar: i kept the left over marsala wine to use for making another batch of cookies or could be used in another recipe.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes , or until golden , mine only took about 18 minutes.
Remove cookie sheet from oven , using 2 metal spatulas , remove the loaves from cookie sheet .
